I admit, I have been tough on Bobby Weir for years, but I really enjoyed his new album am surprised he wasn’t nominated in any of those categories. Ace did some nice work.

Trey gets a nice honorable mention with for his Special Limited Edition Package ‘s art director. Goodness knows the music is not worthy of mention. Sturgill should win but won’t. The music business is a joke.
